1. Implementing OKRs

DSB Digital Labs creates innovative digital solutions across DBS (Danish State Railways). OKRs were used to improve execution.
In an effort to improve ability to focus work and ensure results, both in the short and long term, DSB Digital Labs decided to implement OKRs (Objectives & Key Results)
We helped ensure that the use of OKRs didn’t just become a tool, but an integral part of mindset, behavior and culture and governance. The project was delivered in two phases. First, a 2 day workshop with the leadership where vision was clarified, OKR theory was introduced to help leaders be good role-models later, and finally, the first set of top-level OKRs were developed. Secondly, a week with full workshop days was used to implement OKRs, teach theory and facilitate key conversations across the full team.

3. Executive coaching - from the battlefield paramedic to…

A CEO wanted to improve impact within his leadership group - we worked with embodying a new leadership style
Our client was dealing with constant firefighting in an environment characterised by lack of leadership capacity. Simultaneously, his caring and non-confrontational approach, was affecting timely action on critical and strategic business issues.
Over a period of 6 months we coached the CEO to transform his leadership style from the “caring battle field medic” to the “foreseeing captain”.
The CEO’s new way of seeing and being have helped him go from being everyone’s go-to guy to ensuring the safety of the entire business, starting the process of rebuilding the leadership team, narrowing the business scope and turning red numbers into black.
